Team Dawson

Team Dawson

I enjoyed showing the Dawson Family (aka Team Dawson) around the islands. Team Dawson is Mark, Alicia, Aubree, Davis, Cale and Bram. We started by exploring the sandbar off of Captiva. The kids had fun swimming and playing in the water and enjoying the birdlife on this little spit of sand. Next it was off to a remote beach where we shelled and explored. The kids enjoyed the live shells we observed while their mom enjoyed the shells and solitude on the beach.
Thank you Team Dawson for a fun day of exploring.
Keep on shelling!  Capt. Brian

I have been a Shelling Guide to Cayo Costa State Park since 1995. Many people know me as the Shelling Guide and Captain with Captiva Cruises over the past 20 years. In 2016 I began solely offering private small boat charters to the islands of Pine Island Sound including Cayo Costa State Park, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Pine Island and North Captiva. I am a certified Florida Master Naturalist, licensed USCG Captain, avocational photographer, seashell enthusiast and passionate about the history, people and culture of Southwest Florida, especially Cayo Costa. I volunteer as a member of Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and have great respect for the heritage of Cayo Costa. My goal is to provide guests with an overall experience and appreciation for the waters, islands, shells, plants, marine life, wildlife, history and people of this unique area of Southwest Florida.
